Former winners and perennial nominees will pack the Beverly Hilton Hotel for the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday night. But in their midst will be a slew of TV and film actors — from established stars to fresh faces — getting recognized with a nod for the very first time. Here are six such stars.

The Overdue Star | Kristen Bell

The role: Eleanor Shellstrop, a bad gal with a second chance to become good, in “The Good Place.”

Up for: Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy.

Best known for: “Veronica Mars” and voicing Princess Anna in “Frozen.”

The character, in her words: “Look, I consider myself a very nice person and there are plenty of times I want to scream at someone on the street,” she told The Guardian. “And Eleanor does that — she tells people to eat their farts.”

Breakout moment: A scene in which Eleanor reveals to Chidi (William Jackson Harper) that they were once in love, in the middle of a brawl with demons.

Coming attractions: “Frozen 2,” which drops in November, a “Veronica Mars” revival on Hulu, and the rest of the third season of “The Good Place.”

Up for: Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.

Best known for: Playing no-nonsense mom Jessica Huang on the sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat.”

The character, in her words: “Rachel grew up in a place where she was not the dominant culture. She did not see herself represented in media,” Wu told Rolling Stone. “For myself and for Rachel, when you go through that, you wonder what parts of you are Asian and what parts are American.”

Breakout moment: A game of mah-jongg that sees her go toe-to-toe with her boyfriend’s intimidating mother (Michelle Yeoh).
